He's defeated cancer twice and now all this brave teenager from Northern Ireland wants is to meet his idols - the cast of Star Wars, who just so happen to have touched down in Belfast to film the latest installment of the blockbuster series.

"Jamie, Ciaran, Caolan" The first time Jamie met the boys, after sending them to a private screening of The Force Awakens, as Ciaran wouldn't have been able to go otherwise, due to his immune system being low.

Mum Patricia says Jamie is the biggest Star Wars fan in the galaxy and so she launched an appeal to get the actor's attention using the hashtag #StarWarsForJJ on social media.

The as-yet-untitled Star Wars Episode VIII is filming just out of view of Jamie's Derry house which is right on the border, his mother said.

Should he get to meet the cast, the selfless teenager who is studying for his GCSES, doesn't want it just for him, rather he wants it for the others in his Jamie's Journie community.

Among them is little Ciaran Murphy who turns two next week, he was diagnosed with leukaemia last summer and loves all things Star Wars.

The little boy is back in hospital and will be for the next number of weeks and Jamie would love to have something sorted for the his birthday on Thursday.

Patricia said: "We didn't even think about Star Wars coming here because Jamie has been so sick. If Jamie had have been better, he would have been doing this for Jamie's Journie's kids himself.

"I put up a public appeal the other day, and overnight there was more than 20,000 views.

"Jamie has been a massive fan of Star Wars since he was three and when he turns 18 he plans to join the Emerald Garrison to visit sick children as Luke Skywalker."

Last year Jamie dressed up as Darth Vader and arranged for members of the Emerald Garrison - a Star Wars-themed costume club which raises money for charity - to visit one little Ciaran, one of the youngest members of the Jamie Journie family.

Now with the cast of Star Wars arriving in Northern Ireland and being so close, Patricia said the appeal is just something they needed to do.

"They are on our doorstep," she said, "We have all these amazing kids that have been through so much and are going through so much.

"We just really want to get Jamie and some of the kids, even to go on set, just something.

"It's just so close and it's such a dream. It's never going to happen again.
